Jolie apparently wanted Pitt to relax after dealing with the stress of her recent double mastectomy. A source told the Sun that the 38-year-old actress figured that Pitt needed to let his hair down after a stressful few months, so she told him to go and have a boozy week with his mates and get it out of his system.

The Hollywood hunk stayed at a house in southern France that’s owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Pitt’s vacation also included a three nights stay at George Clooney’s luxury villa in Italy. In the past fortnight, he has also been on benders with U2’s Bono and Larry Mullen.
